Hi, According to the log files, yast can only see /dev/sda, no /dev/sdb!! /dev/sda is SCSI, 33.90 GB, /dev/sda, LSILOGIC-1030 IM But there is no mention of /dev/sdb, might be a kernel module problem, although mptscsih is loaded... What happens when you try to install manually? Anas Debbie Velarde wrote:

Anas,

I've attached all the files in /var/log/YaST2/.

I will also try changing the size of / to "max" and will send out another email shortly.

Thanks, Debora

Hi, Can you please send me the log files from /var/log/YaST2/*.

Something else I have just noticed, the size of partitions other than boot on swap cant be given as "auto". So the size of the root partition must be set to "max". But this might not have an effect in your case cause the error is about /data.

I have just tried the same configuration you sent, and it works for me, so logs will be appreciated..

Hi Anas,

Thanks for replying so quickly. I tried replacing both of the <reuse>all</reuse> lines with <use>all</use>. But I am still getting the same error. Any more ideas?

Hi,

I am trying to use AutoYast2 to install a system with two hard drives. I am using SLES8. I want to destroy all existing partitions on both drives and then create the following: sda: /boot, /swap, / (using default values) sdb: /data (which takes up the entire second drive)

When I add the information to the partition section of the autoinstall.xml file, I get the following error: "Partition '/data' needs 2.00 MB more disk space. Please deselect some packages." Then if I click "OK", it continues with the installation and then returns another error: "Could not format /dev/sdb5"

Here is the partition section of my latest autoinstall.xml: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <reuse>all</reuse>

Try <use>all</use> instead.
